When does a car cross the line from a conveyance to a gadget?  :D

 

 

i think that is the same as:

 

1. getting a car for necessity and getting a car for luxury. same as getting a jaguar, and using it everyday... that is luxury... or getting an altis, and also using it everyday... now that is necessity. or;

 

2. buying an original Calvin Klein brief and getting a Hanford brief. Both are briefs and they do the same purpose..

 

but of course, if you are rich and money is no object, then everything is living in necessity. but if you are a wage earner and you do the things i've enumerated above, then everything else is living in luxury.

 

in short, it depends on you and your socio-economic class.

Nokia N70. Office-issued not bought. It sucks because it is relatively slow (booting and accessing the menu window from the default window) compared to most cell phones I have seen. But I like its camera. Oo nga pala, okay lang pala if it is slow kasi mabagal din ako mag-text hehehe. 'Tanda na eh!

A car classified as a gadget? Hmm...? Does size have something to do with it? Teka...mahirap yata sagutin yung tanong. Consult ko lang wikipedia. Babalikan ko thread na ito...

 

Ang arte ko naman at baka off-topic na ito. Pero mga bro and sis, i am just being technical about it, hoping to initiate understanding of the terms "conveyance" and "gadget". Dun sa mga maa-asar o mako-cornihan for whatever reason...my apologies. Heto yung simple research ko. Dalawang sources lang...

 

1) Sabi ng Wikipedia... A gadget or gazza is a device that has a useful specific practical purpose and function. Gadgets tend to be more unusual or cleverly designed than normal technology. In some circles the distinction between a gadget and a gizmo is that a gizmo has moving parts, whereas a gadget need not have them. For example, a nifty digital watch would be a gadget, while an analog watch would be a gizmo.

 

therefore: a car may be considered more as a gizmo than a gadget, if we were to force ourselves along that argument;

 

2) Sabi naman ni Webster... "an often small mechanical or electronic device with a practical use but often thought of as a novelty"

 

therefore: generally, a car may not be considered as a gadget because of its size

 

Pero, siguro a matter of usage lang yan. Basta nagkakaintindihan. Sabi nga ni The Russian Mafia: “i think that is the same…”

 

Anyway, I go along with Russian Mafia's thought: necessity ba o luxury? The answer is Both! So, subjective siya. Kc necessity for one may already be a luxury to another and vice-versa. Sa akin, it will always be a conveyance unless I win the LOTTO jackpot. O sa Deal? Or No deal? :D
